Lika Rodin is a Senior Lecturer in Social Psychology at the School of Health Sciences, University of Skövde. Based in Room G2614 with contact information lika.rodin@his.se and phone number 0500-448242, Rodin serves as Course Coordinator for academic programs including the 2024 course "Frontiers of Neoliberalism: Well-Being and Social Management in Spaceflight" (7.5 credits, Bachelor's level).
Rodin's research spans critical theoretical frameworks examining power dynamics in extreme environments and social structures. Key interests include:
- Social psychology of spaceflight and extreme environments
- Critical theory applications (Foucault, Althusser, Marxist frameworks)
- Migration studies and integration politics
- Biopolitics and governmentality in institutional contexts
- Neoliberalism's impact on social management systems
Analysis of Rodin's publication record from 2015-2024 reveals a distinctive interdisciplinary trajectory bridging social psychology, political philosophy, and sociology. The research demonstrates consistent focus on power structures in both terrestrial and extraterrestrial contexts, with increasing attention to space sociology since 2019. Rodin's work connects classical theoretical frameworks (Foucault, Althusser, Marxist theory) with contemporary issues including migration, healthcare, and space exploration, creating novel analytical intersections between critical theory and extreme environment psychology.
Rodin has established significant scholarly output through publications in journals including Zhurnal Issledovanii Sotsial'noi Politiki, Logos et Praxis, The Russian Sociological Review, and International Journal of Russian Studies. The research demonstrates methodological diversity across theoretical analysis, qualitative case studies, and critical literature reviews.
Collaborative work appears with Andre Rodin and Susanne Brunke on migration-related topics, suggesting research partnerships within the University of Skövde's migration studies community. Rodin's academic activities include course development focused on neoliberalism and spaceflight sociology, indicating engagement with emerging interdisciplinary fields.
